Screw the jeep bumper, how about the jeep lift?! haha
Eddie once you put real tires on that thing you're going to want to take the spacers out because it's going to be 6" taller....

going to leave the spacer for now and get newer taller stiffer springs want the 6" one with spacers ..so i can fit used 12x35mtr that i can get from my buddy of his race truck so a lot of cutting is going to be at hand... ..my goal was a budget recovery chase truck and camping rig. minus dealing with smog this d1 can take a beating so far.

Here's my friend's D1 with some sort of Jeep bumper. Looks much better IMO.
As far as lifting 6", have fun with that. It's not as easy as tossing some springs/spacers in and calling it good. Not on these trucks. If you want to drive it over 20mph you'll need radius and trailing arms and DC driveshafts minimum.

Here's a good pic of it on 3" lift - 1" spacer in the rear and 35's after I got the flares on.. Take my advice, lower her down and cut the fenders and save the driveability on and off road.

Yeah I get the whole budget deal. I'm just saying that thing is Fugly.

i just need to toss in longer cranked links and throw away the weak 3 link thing up top. and axles lockers gears.. right now my castor and camber is perfect , thanks to Perry McNeil .. drives better then it did before , even my local shops say there surprised how stable is can fill.. also very road worthy on the freeway with the valving i got from fox racing..
